HTC Offers Limited-Time Discount on Vive Pro 2 Headset & Bundle Packages

Wow, so HTC’s got this big sale happening, right? The Vive Pro 2, which they rolled out back in 2021, is getting a serious price cut. I mean, it’s been their main PC VR headset for a bit now. But now, up until June 30th, you can snag some killer deals. And I gotta say, the timing couldn’t be better if you’re hunting for a solid, yet kinda old-school, VR setup.

So, if you’re curious about what’s up for grabs, here you go: there’s this full bundle with the Vive Pro 2. You get the headset, the SteamVR 2.0 Base Station, and the wand controllers — originally $1,199 but now $799.99. Or, if you’re more of a minimalist, just the headset is down from $699 to $499.99. And yeah, both options come with a couple of months of Viveport Infinity — basically like Netflix, but for VR games. Over a thousand titles to mess around with. Fun times.

Gotta mention the specs here — because numbers and techy stuff, right? Each eye gets a 2,448 × 2,448 resolution, and you’ve got refresh rates at 90Hz and 120Hz. Dual-element Fresnel lenses (kinda chunky though), 120° field-of-view. And oh, connectors? USB 3.0 and DisplayPort 1.2, with a 5m cable, in case you’re measuring.

Now, flip side — it is a bit of a dinosaur in the VR world. Thicker lenses make it sorta clunky compared to the more recent stuff like Bigscreen Beyond 2. That one’s sleeker, higher res — but hey, it costs $1,019, so different strokes for different folks, you know? Also, the Vive Pro 2 kit comes with more goodies like the SteamVR setup for $800. Cheaper, but just make sure your PC’s ready to handle it. (Check your PC specs, trust me.)

HTC’s also going all in with the Vive Focus Vision, launched in late 2024. It’s more standalone, and you can stream PC VR wirelessly or tether it with a DisplayPort. Until June 30th, there are these two deals on it. One set’s $1,149 with a Wired Streaming Kit and some cool games like Metro Awakening and Arizona Sunshine 2. The other one’s $1,049, similar game lineup sans the streaming kit.

Quick detour on pricing — the Vive Focus Vision’s a little pricier than before due to tariffs on stuff from China. Was a thousand bucks, then tariffs hit and they upped it by $49 after May 31st.

Across the pond, Europeans and Brits get some goodies on sale too: Vive Pro 2 bundles at various prices, Vive XR Elite setup, and individual bits and bobs like trackers and controllers. Imagine diving into VR with one of these. Honestly, maybe it’s the time for a new virtual adventure if your wallet’s game for it.
